 Am7    Am       Am7       Am
 Here I lie in my hospital bed
 Dsus2           Am                    Dsus2          Am
 Tell me, Sister Morphine, when are you coming round again?
 G                                     F     *[fill 1]
 Oh, and I don`t think I can wait that long
 C            G               F          Am
 Oh you see    I`m not that strong
 
 Am7  Am  Am7
 
     Am                          Am7            Am
 The scream of the ambulance is sounding in my ears
 Dsus2           Am    *[fill 2]Dsus2                 Am
 Tell me, Sister Morphine, how long have I been lying here?
 G                       F
 What am I doing in this place?
 E                           F
 Why does the doctor have no face?
 G                          F
 Oh, I can crawl across the floor
           Am          F                        Am
 Can`t you see, Sister Morphine, I`m trying to score.
 
         Am7           Am             Am7            Am
 Well it just goes to show things are not what they seem-
 Dsus2          Am                Dsus2           Am
 Please, Sister Morphine, turn my nightmares into dreams.
 G                           F
 Oh can`t you see I`m fading fast?
         Am       F              Am
 And the big shot     will be my last.
 
 Am7          Am               Am7                    Am
 Sweet cousin cocaine, lay your cool cool hands on my head
 Dsus2            Am             Dsus2       Am
 Oh c`mon Sister Morphine, better make up my bed
     G                          F
 Cos you know and I know in the morning I`ll be dead
         Am             F             E                          Am
 You can sit around and watch all the clean white sheets stained red.
